Your fundraising stories
We love to hear about your fundraising activities.
The things you are doing might inspire someone else and help them raise their targets.
If you have done something which has been really successful and has helped you to reach your target, then get in touch to let us know.
Fundraising for your Challenge event
Challenge events are a fantastic, active way of supporting Barnardo's work, allowing you to experience the world's most famous running events, feel the exhilaration of a skydive or travel to far off lands for a once in a lifetime adventure.
Training for your challenge will take up a lot of your time and energy and you will need to fundraise as well. These pages are designed to help you with that side of things: whether you have got a minimum sponsorship target to meet or you are simply trying to raise as much as you can.
Fundraising support
From the day you sign up, we will be on hand to support you and to provide you with fundraising tips and advice. We have got loads of resources to get you started:
- fundraising guide
- information on Gift Aid
- fundraising guidelines
- example press releases
- and fundraising resources such as sponsorship forms, collection tins and posters and balloons for your fundraising events.
Online fundraising
We recommend that you set up your very own fundraising page (where you can add pictures, write some text about what you're doing and why, set your fundraising target) and then send the website link out to your friends, family and colleagues so that they can sponsor you easily and securely.
